Another fresh and well-connected face is set to join Bollywood's next generation. Ahaan Panday, who is Chunky Panday's nephew, Ananya Panday's cousin and Alanna Panday's brother, is set to make his film debut in Mohit Suri's directorial YRF film, Saiyaara. He will be making his debut alongside Aneet Padda, who is known for her performance in the Amazon Prime original Big Girls Don't Cry.

Besides being related to actress Ananya Panday, he is also the brother of content creator and influencer Alanna Panday, who lives in the USA with her American husband. 

Born on December 23, 1977, Ahaan Panday completed his schooling at Oberoi International School in Mumbai and later, completed his graduation from Mumbai University. Hailing from the prominent Panday family of Bollywood gave Ahaan the opportunity to assist in the filmmaking process of several movies and TV shows before bagging an acting role. Ahaan has worked as an assistant director on movies like Freaky Ali, Rock On 2 and the critically acclaimed OTT show The Railway Men. 

According to a YouTube video posted by his sister, Ahaan Panday is currently single. Remember the viral video where a young gentleman dared to dance to Shah Rukh Khan's I Am The Best in front of him? One of them was Ahaan. He, alongside Karan Mehta and Ananya Panday, energetically danced to it and 'Saat Samundar Paar', post which both of the clips went viral instantly. 

The much-anticipated movie, Saiyaara, is set to hit the screens on July 18, 2025. Fans of Ananya Panday can't wait to see her cousin on the big screen. The actress has expressed her happiness over her family member joining the same industry as hers by commenting, “Welcome to the movies my brother ❤️🙏🧿🥺.”
